2nd Last paragraph...
“World War II, with 16 million Americans out of 131 million in the military, brought together people from diverse backgrounds and hostile regions, and GI benefits gave veterans a leg up on attending college and buying homes. Good effects, but no sane person wants a total war.”
So Mr. Barone, are you only advocating a partial war?
The war on future American citizens has killed about 60,000,000 of them in the last 40 years.
What have been the losses on the CHOICE providers side?
“Good effects.” That’s why the Left wants ‘wars’ on poverty, climate change, racism, etc. The Left wants the same endless spending and stifled dissent. And why neocons and their fellow travelers want Americans at war and as world policemen.
